We Used to Kill the Communists (demo 2007)

about

Garageband demo from 2007 about how the United States used to kill communists. Recorded using the built-in mic on an iBook G4, hence the hiss.

lyrics

We used to kill the Communists
We used to try to stop the spread
No use in killing communists anymore
We'll buy their goods instead
We used to kill dictators
And tolerate a few
If it was in your interest
You'd serve a dictator too!

The Domino Effect has worn off
Manifest Destiny subsides
Still, a cold war is better than a bloody one
At least no one dies
Except for spies

But first we killed the Britons
And the Hessians that they hired
Then the Hessians got all nasty as Nazis
Once again we fired
We shot those Fockers down!

We never killed the Russians
They were always on our side
Now the Russians have their mafia
To keep the greedy in line
The greed is in kind
If you're making twenty cents
They only want a dime
Well!
If it's 50% of your revenues man,
It's not that much,
At least your alive!
